I've gotten several hundred of the same message today. I've attached one of them including the header. Who do I need to go after to kill this?

It looks pretty legitimate to me. Okay -- I can't read it, but it's got list info, it's from a legitimate, well-respected web site, etc.

I'd imagine that there was either a serious screw-up on their part or someone is screwing with you and signed you up for the list severl hundred times. In either case, I'd just get in touch with AI, Sweden. Try here.

hmm...I was trying to decipher the headers and it looked to me like it was forwarded from [email protected], and not from the amnesty.se folks...but I'm not an expert in email headers...

That looks like who it was delivered to. And a number of other things match up, so it's either really excellently produced spam (which seems unlikely), or it's a legit mistake.

Edit: Oh. I see. You're looking at the Resent stuff. Hmmm. Even Resent stuff should have further Received headers. That's odd.

Okay. It looks like it was resent. But it should have been delivered to [email protected] at the mail server mail3.nshosts.com. Do you have any relationship to any of that?

nope...it's delivered to dbjorgen at schooldynamics dot net. That's another weird thing...I don't see that address anywhere in the headers. Maybe it's a problem with the mail server. It's one of those cheap $10/mo. hosting services where I have limited control of the email domain. I can delete the account, but then the user loses all the mail that was previously sent to that address.

nshosts.com is the aforementioned cheap hosting place. They have a gazillion resellers pushing their service.

Ah. I bet it got mis-delivered there. Talk to them.

I was afraid of that...now I'll probably get the run-around where they tell me to talk to the reseller and the reseller does nothing about it. Sigh.

I'll probably just run it through my mail server and forward all mail from that address to /dev/null.
